Lesser driving offenses lead to bigger problems after Beachwood police stop two motorists

BEACHWOOD -- At least two motorists last week learned that if they have skeletons in their closets, it is best to not draw attention to themselves.

In one case, a man was stopped Jan. 15 while driving his car in the parking lot at Beachwood Place on Cedar Road. The officer making the stop did so because the man's car did not have functioning brake lights.

Further investigation revealed the man was wanted on a warrant from Brecksville police. He was arrested without incident.

On Jan. 14, a Cleveland woman, 33, was stopped on Cedar Road for using her cell phone while driving. The officer in that case looked into the department's computer and found the woman's driver's license had been suspended.
